Chapter 51.2
"Here."
"...Excuse me?"
"Here! You said you wanted to hug me, didn’t you?! You’ve worked hard, so think of it as a dog biting its owner and being forgiven just this once! If you want to do it, then hurry up and do it!"
I swallowed the urge to look at her face beneath the mask.
Instead, I cautiously leaned in and embraced her.
Soft warmth. A firm yet familiar presence.
Once I had my arms around her, I realized...
I had no idea what to do next.
So, I glanced at Ilma for guidance.
She clicked her tongue.
"You’re not some oversized child. Lower your back."
"Yes."
I bent lower.
Now at eye level, Ilma reached out.
She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me in, tightly.
"...Honestly."
Ilma let out a long, weary sigh.
Just as she was about to pull away—
She reached up and gently ruffled my hair.
"You’re a strange one."
The voice of a teacher.
I closed my eyes for just a moment.
The Journey Was Not Particularly Difficult.
With a new face and a new name, I could walk openly along the main roads.
- Soul-Severing Thrust.
- Ghost Step, One Demon.
- Overpowering Demon Path.
